Verdi-Rigoletto (perc. and timp. parts ed. by Theresa Dimond)

This user-friendly edition of Verdi's Rigoletto contains the percussion/timpani score as well as the separate parts. This great edition was created by Theresa Dimond and has been tested by the percussion section of the Los Angeles Opera. Born out of necessity, Dimond has constructed a time-saving score that intended to be the "performer's edition". By standardizing notation and location of parts, this score combines several different versions of the original score. Since the original version of the opera contained very few rehearsal numbers, the Los Angeles Opera librarian opted to augment the rehearsal numbers by numbering each scene, as well. Every bar and partial bar is counted as if it were a full bar. large rehearsal numbers are boxed and appear above the staff. The numbers correspond to the Kalmus edition and Dover score (the editions used by the Los Angeles Opera).
